Impact of Use of Technology on Management Education

Purpose of the ReportThe purpose of this report is to analyze the impact of technology on management education at the Goa Institute of Management (GIM) and to study how the increasing use of technology affects students in their education. A questionnaire survey was conducted to learn about students’ outlook towards the increasing use of technology in the course of their education. The survey functioned as an aid to analyze the extent to which technology affects students in the course of their education: not only as a medium of instruction but also as a facilitator in further learning on their own. A total of 31 students responded to the survey. Since the survey included only management students at GIM, it cannot be generalized and extended to other forms of education or to other institutes.

Impact of use of Technology on Management Education at GIMAll the respondents to the survey possess a personal laptop and a cell phone. Some of the students possess a personal desktop computer and some possess a Smart Phone as well. The study shows that the students on an average spend about 6-10 hours per week on creating spreadsheets, presentations, etc. All the participants strongly agreed to the fact that they primarily used technology to improve the presentation of their work. However, there were conflicting responses regarding the fact that the participants’ use of technology enhanced the opportunities to effectively communicate with the instructors. The results of the study show that most of them prefer using moderate to extensively high level of technology in their course and agree that use of technology in the course makes them more engaged in their work.

...INTERNET AND EDUCATION: virtual classrooms for everyone?
A dusty, one-room schoolhouse on the edge of a village. An overworked teacher trying to manage a room full of boisterous children. Students sharing schoolbooks that are in perpetual short supply, crammed in rows of battered desks. Children worn out after long treks to school, stomachs rumbling with hunger. Others who vanish for weeks on end, helping their parents with the year-end harvest. Still others who never come back, lacking the money to pay for school uniforms and school supplies. Such is the daily dilemma faced by many young people in the developing world as they seek to obtain that most precious of all commodities, an education.
With the global economy relying more than ever on brainpower and innovation rather than raw materials and manual labour as generators of wealth, a good education has become the key factor determining who will succeed and who will be left behind. With countries in the developing world stretching their budgets to the limit, and with education ranking low on some governments’ list of spending priorities, the odds seem to be stacked against their favour. And the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) estimates that there will be more people to educate in the next thirty years than have ever been educated up to this point in history.

Student learning styles help drive home the idea of using technology in differentiated instruction. The push continues to take computer standards from a stand-alone part of school curriculum and blend them into every content standard. Technology is fast becoming a part of our daily lives and...

...The society we live in is completely integrated with technology, we are surrounded by and we live on technology. One of the definitions of “technology” given by Webster’s Third New International Dictionary is “the totality of the means employed by a people to provide itself with the objects of material culture”, and as a matter of fact, almost every little work we do can be considered technology dependent. Today we are all identified with the technological device we are carrying, which must be up to date. For many of us, living without technology I like living without air”. Many people don’t realize how much they are engaged to their gadgets and how much they affect our lives; I think that most of us would struggle to live without these little comforts while some researchers of the University “La Sapienza Di Roma” concluded that most of the people, especially from 16 to 25 years old, feel lost when they don’t have their mobile phones with them.
An excerpt from the telegraph confirms us what we previously affirmed: “In an international study called Unplugged, volunteers at 12 universities around the world were asked to keep detailed diaries while spending 24 hours in a tech and information blackout. They found out that youngsters reported sickness and fidgety, they felt really uncomfortable and like if they had nothing to do. “They kept looking for the phones, even though they weren't carrying them.”...

...The Impact of Technology on Our Lives:
Technology surrounds almost every aspect of our lives today. It is responsible for the revolution in the fields of manufacturing, agriculture, medicine, communication, education, information, transportation, finance and more. The astounding development of technology has drastically changed the lifestyle of people in society. The progress of technology can have both good and bad implications. In many ways, it simplifies life and has beneficial effects on the human condition. However, Technology has also brought many complications into our lives, as we have become almost totally dependent on it. It also pollutes the atmosphere which is posing a big problem to the earth. The positive and negative effect depends on the exposure to it and how people use it.
In my opinion, technologies best achievement has to be in the field of medicine. All patient’s files are kept on a computer and can be accessed on a database from anywhere in the hospital. This saves a significant amount of time and eliminates the room for human error. Diseases are complex, and various parts of the human body can be even more complex. Therefore, technology has brought about an immense benefit to both the physician and the patient. It has given people the ability to walk, reduced the number of fatalities in surgery, promotes a...
